llassachusetts Ipstitute of ech 0olo0gy,BOYLSTON STREET, BOSTON.

FRANCIS A. WALKER, President.

THis school is devoted to the teaching of science, as applied to the various engineering professions; viz., civil,mechanical, mining, and electrical engineering, as well as to architecture, chemistry, metallurgy, physics, and naturalhistory.

Besides the above distinctly professional courses, the Institute offers scientific courses of a less technicalcharacter, designed to give students a preparation for business callings. A four years' course in biology, chemistry, andphysics has been established, as preparatory to the professional study of medicine.

Modern languages are taught, so far as is needed for the ready and accurate reading of scientific works andperiodicals, and may be further pursued as a means of general training.

The constitutional and political history of England and the United States, political economy, and internationallaw are taught, in a measure, to the students of all regular courses, and may be further pursued as optional studies.

Applicants for admission to the Institute are examined in English grammar, geography, French, arithmetic,algebra, modern history, and geometry. A fuller statement of the requirements for admission will be found in the cata-logue, which will be sent, without charge, on application.

A clear admission paper from any college of recognized character will be accepted as evidence of preparation, inplace of an examination.

Graduates of colleges conferring degrees, who have the necessary qualifications for entering the third-year classin any of the regular courses of the Institute, will be so admitted, provisionally, on the presentation of their diplomas,and will be given opportunity to make up all deficiencies in professional subjects.

The feature of instruction which has been most largely developed in the school is laboratory training, shop-work,and field-practice, to supplement, to illustrate, and to emphasize the instruction of the recitation and lecture room.

Surveying-instruments are provided for field-work in civil and topographical engineering. Extensive shopshave been fitted up for the use of both hand and machine tools, and a laboratory of steam engineering has beenestablished as a part of the instruction in mechanical engineering. Several steam-boilers and steam-engines of vari-ous types are available for experiments and tests, as well as a large amount of special apparatus for measuring power,for gauging the flow of water, for tests of belting, etc. The laboratory of applied mechanics contains two testing-Amachines,-one for ascertaining transverse strength, the other for tension and compression,-besides apparatus fortime-tests on timber, for tests of mortars and cements, for tests of shafting, etc. The department of mining engineeringand metallurgy has the use of laboratories in which the milling and smelting of lead, copper, silver, and other ores, ineconomic quantities, are regularly performed by the students themselves. The classes in architecture supplement thework of the drawing and designing rooms by the examination of structures completed or in course of erection, and bypractical experiment in the laboratory of applied mechanics, testing the strength of materials and working out problemsin construction. The Kidder Chemical Laboratories consist of a laboratory for general chemistry (288 places); a lab-oratory for analytical chemistry (Io8 places), together with a special room for volumetric analysis (20 places) and a bal-ance-room with 22 balances; a laboratory for organic chemistry (30 places); a laboratory for sanitary chemistry (i6

.places); a laboratory for industrial chemistry (i6 places); two convenient lecture-rooms; and a well-supplied libraryand reading-room. The laboratories are thoroughly equipped for the purposes of ordinary instruction, and they alsopossess excellent facilities for the promotion of original research. The Rogers Laboratory of Physics, the first labora-

· tory in which instruction was systematically given to classes by means of elementary physical measurements conductedby the students themselves, is well provided with the needful facilities for laboratory instruction in both elementary andadvanced technical physics, especially in the different branches of electrical engineering.

On the successful completion of any one of the four-year courses of the Institute, the degree of "Bachelor ofScience" will be conferred. The degrees of "Master of Science," "Ph.D.," and "Doctor of Science " are open to per-sons pursuing advanced studies and conducting original researches. Special students are allowed to enter special divis-ions of any of the courses, on giving evidence that they are prepared to pursue with advantage the studies selected.

The fee for tuition is $2oo a year. Besides this, $25 or $30 are nieeded for books and instruments. There areno separate laboratory fees; only payment for articles broken is required.

For information, address JAS. P. MUNROE, Secretary.

the general plan of its arrangement, it differs butslightly from that adopted by the '87 editors. Anew and especially good feature adopted is thearrangement of the classes, in dividing them intotheir courses, and putting a man's first name first.A number of errors are noticeable in this, how-ever; but this is mainly due to the fact that thenames were taken from the Secretary's lists,which had not then been corrected. For afrontispiece there is a very good heliotype ofProf. Nichols.

In the arrangement of the local societies anunfortunate error has taken place, which, how-ever, we learn is not entirely the fault of theeditors. This is the putting of the K 2 S Societyat the head of the Local Societies. As this So-ciety is the youngest one, its place should belast. '89 will do well to look out and not copythis error when it comes her time to issue theAnnual.

Another department which has been muchchanged and bettered is the "grind" depart-ment. Most of the hits in this are especiallygood, and to the point.

A new idea has been-introduced in the lettersfrom each department. These are very wellwritten, and some of the illustrations accompa-nying them are especially realistic and lifelike.

Undoubtedly the best features of the book liein its cuts, the credit of which is mainly due toMessrs. Hoppin and Ray, though the whole In-stitute has contributed to them, also.

The most serious criticism to be made of itis in regard to its inaccuracies and omissions.Many of these could have been corrected easily;and as a work of this kind is intended as a cor-rect and complete handbook, it is surprising thatmore care was not displayed here.

In regard to the cover we can say but little,except that we think it is an improvement overlast year's. Of course it is impossible, with thepresent support, to get up anything so handsomeand expensive as the leather cover of the Transit,but we think that the editors might have made abetter choice.

As a whole we are very much pleased withthe work, and consider it a credit alike to itseditors, the Class of '88, and the whole Institute.

HE number of men who graduate from theInstitute has always been small compared

with the number who enter each year. Thisdiscrepancy is much greater than is usual atother colleges, and the causes which produce itshould be analyzed, with a view toward remedy-ing them, if possible. The usual idea is, thatthe courses of study are so hard as to shut outin time all those except the grinds or excep-tionally bright men, and that fewer studiesshould be included, or the system re-arranged

in some manner. Although this may be animportant factor in the case, there is anothercause which seems to us to be just as effective.We think that mistaken choices of branches ofstudy are very common, and have considerableto do with. affecting the students' stay here.After a student has successfully passed throughthe general course of study of the first year, hehas nine different courses of study before him,all scientific, but dealing with entirely differentbranches of science. Let us see what usuallyguides the students in his choice. It mayhappen that plans are all laid out for him, sothat he knew when he entered what line ofbusiness he was to engage in on leaving, and sohis choice is made for him. Another mayknow what branch he is most likely to secure aposition in. Another may be influenced en-tirely-by his tastes for certain work; while stillanother class have no decided preference, andbase their decision on the easiness of certaincourses, or what their friends are going to do,etc.

Now, the first two cases may find, after a trial,that the line of study they are pursuing is dis-tasteful, or find that their abilities do not tendin that direction. If this is the case they hadbetter drop out as soon as possible, and takesomething suited to them. In the fourth caseit is merely a matter of guess-work, and may ormay not be successful. We think that thenumber of graduates represents the men whochose the courses adapted to their tastes andabilities, and those who dropped out or becamespecials made mistakes in their choices. Thismay be rather a' sweeping assertion to make,but it must be true for the main part.

It is plainly evident that more judgmentshould be used in the selection of a course ofstudy. Once engaged in a certain direction,there is no other course open except by makinga fresh start. As the aim of our differentbranches is to turn out specialists, the knowl-edge obtained all tends in one direction, andcannot be made useful in another line ofbusiness. Now, if a student is not perfectlysure about his decision, would it not be better

for him to take a course which combines manysubjects and gives chances for options, thusgoing over a large amount of ground of a gen-eral character, all of the studies being practicaland important? Such a course can be takenhere, and a few students avail themselves ofthe chance. There is no doubt but that a manis better fitted for business not of a specialcharacter by a stock of universal knowledge ofa practical character, than by a line of knowl-edge all running in one direction. There mustbe a large class of men here who are not goingto be engineers or chemists, etc., and who areto engage in work which, though of a specialcharacter, in a sense, still requies diffusedknowledge more than special. Of course ifboth could be combined, it might be morebeneficial, but few of us have time enough tofollow up both lines. Studies of a generalcharacter are introduced to some extent in thedifferent courses, but form a small per cent ofthe whole. We think if more students tookthe general course there would be more gradu-ates, and fewer disappointed hopes. Theremust be some cure for our existing evils, andwe think that this idea would remedy some ofthem. We think that the general course willin time become one of the most popular, andsucceed in drawing students here who nowattend other colleges with the idea that this isbut an engineer factory.

SMALL improvements often become of moregeneral convenience or even necessity than

most pretentious ones. We have songs - localand technical, class and social, without number,but no one seems to have had enterprise enoughas yet to devise and introduce some short anduseful combination of notes suitable for everydaycommunication and intercourse. What we nowneed is a college whistle. Something withwhich we can, although at a considerable dis-tance, instantly arrest a classmate just about toenter the recitation-room until we can come upand extract from him an explanation .of that

knotty point which our last night's efforts failedto elucidate. Who of us has not, on his way tothe Institute, espied three or four blocks ahead,and walking like an excited ostrich, some long-legged fellow-student who owes us a little some-thing which would come in particularly handyjust then; and whistled with such soulful yearn-ingness as to draw the attention of every smallboy, pretty girl, herdic-driver and horse-carconductor within a furlong, but without reachingeither the ear or understanding of our absorbedfriend. Or perhaps the unresponsive one pos-sesses our umbrella, German exercise, meal-ticket, "stylo," or other equally indispensablearticle, and is about to accost some feminine ac-quaintance just ahead, board a car, or elude usin some equally effective manner, while we our-selves have just forty seconds to ascend twoflights and write down a black-board full of notesbefore lecture begins. A freshman or soph mayyell, - the former out, of his incurable freshness,the latter from his traditional recklessness of theproprieties; but the unfortunate senior orjunior must grin, and internally curse; whereasone short, well-understood whistle might turnas one the heads of every "Tech" on the streetand a gesture hold the attention of the rightman. Surely some sort of a Tech whistle isbound to come, and it only remains for someenergetic man to call a mass-meeting to considerthe matter.

i HE last number of the Tuftonian containsan article which is boiling over with in-

dignation at what it calls a most successful ex-hibition of wire-pulling. This refers to therecent Foot-Ball Convention. We really fail tosee where the wire-pulling comes in, unless itwas that which Tufts and Williams engaged in,-and that could hardly be called successful.Amherst, Trinity, and Tech. invited StevensInstitute, Brown, and Dartmouth to form aleague with them; and they did. That is thewhole affair in a nutshell. The Tuftoniazn in-tifnates that these last three colleges heard onlyone side of the question. When the Tech

delegates arrived in Springfield, they foundthe Stevens, Brown, and Dartmouth delegatescloseted with the Tufts and Williams men; andit was only with considerable difficulty that theycould be induced to come out and join Trinity,Amherst, and Tech. in forming the new league,so greatly had their sympathies been worked on.Then the first thing they did was to proposethat Williams and Tufts should be asked to joinin the formation, which motion was lost by a tievote. The Tiftoonian's idea of wire-pulling is-certainly unique, but its statement that Steyens,Brown, and Dartmouth only heard one side ofthe question goes even further beyond.

"SMALL favors gratefully received!" At acollege like the Institute, where no "cut"

record is of much account, and students attendlectures and recitations because they need to,not because they have to, a suspension of lec-tures, etc., on the day before Christmas, haslittle influence on the plans of the students.Those who left for home over last Fridaywould have done so in any event; of thosewho did not, the smarter students put theirtime in laboratory or drawing-room, to getahead of the others, and the slower ones puttheirs in to keep up. As no mortal will pre-tend that laboratory work is easier than attend-ing a lecture or recitation, the result of thevacation petition is simply that those studentswho were absent Friday, cut one kind of workinstead of another, while most of the professorsand instructors were relieved of their customaryduties. In other words, five hundred studentspetition the Faculty for a holiday,and the Facultygive themselves one. "Blessed are the benev-olent."

($jHE TECH feels that some apology is due itsreaders for, not producing a Holiday num-

ber; but as this year the editorial work has fallenmainly on the editors from the Junior Class,who do not have as much option in the disposalof their time as the Seniors, it has been foundimpossible to do so.

of their number stumbled across a half-imbeddedsubstance that was partially disinterred by theact, and revealed a boot. The men all set towork and soon tore away the light covering of

leaves and straw, and brought to light thestiffened corpse of Bill Grey, as he was com-monly called. His body has been brought totown, and will be interred this afternoon. Hecame among us many years ago, and has ledthe life of a recluse ever since. Nothing isknown of his history."

The above extract appeared in a PotterCounty, Penn., newspaper the other week, andbrought back to the writer the memory of anautumn expedition among the hills of NorthernPennsylvania, and an interview with the un-known dead.

I had taken up my headquarters at a ram-shackled farm-house, kept by a one-half hunting,one-half farming individual, who, among othervirtues, kept a pack of hounds, and was a warmfriend of anyone who possessed a gun and knewhow to use it.

My host, after directing me to all the bestlocalities for a shot, and throwing in some valu-able reflections of his own on sportsmanship ingeneral, told me of a "character" that had"fetched up in these parts," the excellence ofwhose shot and unsociableness of life had crea-ted a good deal of talk. "Don't yer put aword to him no-a-ways; yer won't git as muchas beans for an answer, and yer mought as wellstart for hum ef yer cuni 'cross him, fur thar'sno luck arterwards. Iv'e bin thar."

Game was plenty, the weather fine, and theunerring shot and his general uncannyness didnot again trouble my brain, until one particularSaturday, when the fates seemed to have openedall their batteries.

I started from the house after an early break-fast, with a comfortable luncheon stowed awayin my pocket, intending to make a day of it.The weather promised fair enough, and Istrolled on with a careful eye to the mainchance, pausing now and again to admire thebeauty of the forest scene, but no luck. I hadbeen so fortunate before, that I was beginningto grumble over the time it took for a first shot,when I heard the low rumble of thunder, andlooking up, found the sky completely overcast.

Though no "fair-weather sportsman," a soli-

tary night in the woods, in a pelting rain, didnot hold sufficient inducements for continuingmy course, so I turned to retrace.

How I lost my head sufficiently to miss mypath, I have never been able to solve; but sixhours' hard work amid low underbrush and asaturating drizzle convinced me that such wasthe case, and that it was time to look around fora spot to camp.

In this condition I discovered an ascendingcolumn of smoke, issuing from a high ledge,not many yards ahead of me. Pushing throughthe brush in the direction of the smoke, it wasnot many minutes before I stood in front of acave-like structure, the opening of which waspartially barred with hemlock boughs.

The first thing that greeted my eye on enteringwas a large fire in the back of the cave, that casta ruddy light over wall and ceiling; before it,reclining on a mat, was stretched a man, whoarose on /his elbow and looked toward me,aroused by the noise I made in entering. Ipleaded the sacredness of hospitality, relatedmy plight, and even endeavored to soothe thesavage breast by quoting James Fitz James' pleafor shelter, food and fire, although I but humblyasked for the first.

In reply to all this he vouchsafed not a word,but, after a vigorous stretch, arose, walked tothe mouth of the cave, and took a look outside;after which he returned, and pointed to a seatof one-half bench and stool.

My host was a man of about five feet teninches, the owner of a well-built frame, fullbeard, dirty face, and clothed in a leatherpatched cardigan jacket, buckskin trousers,-the worse for wear,- and a pair of home-mademoccasins. These, with the addition of a shortblack pipe, complete the photograph.

From sticks thrust into the walls of the cavehung trophies of his gun, in the shape of birdsand venison, fit for an epicure's palate,- if thedoctrine that a slight taint is an added luxury, istrue. A pile of not-over-cleanly skins occupiedone corner, on which, in lieu of a shelf, rested alot of ancient-looking tinware. My host pro-duced a tin pail from some receptacle hidden

from my sight, and placed it on the glowingcoals, which soon brought the contents to a boil,and filled the room with the most agreeableodor of stewed meat and vegetables. My af-ternoon's scramble had produced an achingvoid, that I had expected to carry to bed,-andin fact, after becoming acquainted with the non-hydropathic views of my landlord, desired to;but the persuasive effects of the ascendingsteam were such, that when a tin dish of thecompound was passed me, I was soon busilyengaged in its mysteries, spearing bits of meatand potatoes with my knife and transferringthem to my mouth. The cook did not stop forsuch trifles as a knife and fork, but, on theprinciple that fingers were made before either,began, as soon as practicable, to grapple thecontents with both hands, ending by tipping hisplate to an angle of 45° ,-an operation whichsoon cleansed it.

He then produced a pipe that might havebeen a brother to his own, a paper of tobacco,and a long black bottle. Handing me thesmoking-materials, we both commenced to load.

I had determined to have an interview, ifpossible; and knowing that the weed was saidto have a remarkable power over the humanheart, not to speak of the bottle, I was ready toendure, if necessary, suffer, to attain my object.The tobacco I could manage, but when it cameto the bottle- a forty-rod Jersey-lightningaffair - my resolution flickered. I managed,however, to elude his vigilance by lifting thebottle high in air and gluing my lips to itsorifice, at the same time making a fictitiousswallowing sound, and conveying to my featuresan expression of ecstactic bliss. As he had thebottle all to himself, and it passed rapidly, itbegan after a time to assert itself, and aftersome introductory conversation, I found myselflistening to the story of Henry Eskine Temple-ton, alias " Bill Grey's" life,

Born in Chester, England, the youngest sonof Sir Phillip Eskine Templeton, K. C. B., hewas sent, at an early age, to Rugby, and fromthere to Oxford, where he graduated. He losthis mother the day after this event, and

THEI TE CH.

hastened home to condole with his father, butwas received with a chilling coolness, and in-formed that, owing to financial troubles, itwould not be possible to do more than pay overhis mother's inheritance, and that in future thetwo had better live apart. Eskine (as he wascalled) had been brought up to believe himselfthe son of a man of wealth, and had lived alife in accordance; and when he found himselfsuddenly dismissed with £.6,ooo, invested in 3per cents, his temper got the better of. his dis-cretion, and brought forth a war of words, thatended by his being shown the door.

He learned afterward that the reason forgetting rid of him was on account of a certainspinster, of means, but not birth, who, at eventhat early day had been interviewed as to achange of name.

His income not being sufficient to meet hisrequirements, he was induced by an old collegefriend, who had taken to city life, to sell out his3 per cents, and allow him to invest it at ahigher rate. He did so, and had the pleasure,one morning, of finding out that his friend hadmade a bad failure, and decamped with the£6,ooo just placed in his hands. Hurriedlyrealizing on everything disposable, he immedi-ately got on his track; followed him to Paris,thence to Florence and Berlin, where he lostall trace. The Russo-Turkish war was then atits height, and his pockets contained just enoughto carry him to Russia, where he volunteered ina German regiment. He fought at Bartoum andShipka Pass, where he was wounded by a BashiBaouk in the arm, but not severely. At theclose of the war he made his way to Bordeaux,and shipped on a vessel bound for Callao. Therehe left the vessel and drifted to Lima, where hefound employment with an Englisli firm. On atrip to the mines he discovered signs of silverore on the hacienda of a Peruvian officer. Heassociated himself with a party of Frenchmenand bought the estate, mortgaging it to theEnglish firm for means to work it, who were

.only too glad to make the advance when theyfound how rich the deposit was.

They were very successful, even beyond their

anticipations; but the country-was cursed withrevolutions, and they were continually taxed,first by one party and then by another, not tospeak of the insecurity of life, and the perpet-ual legal struggle of the original owner of theproperty to recover it, when he found what atreasure he had disposed of.

All these worries induced him to sell out hisinterest to his partners, from which he realized30,000 sols. - Part of this he was forced to takein silver, and the rest in bills on the Govern-ment Bank at Lima. The silver was in ingots,and had to be conveyed across the plains ofCasse.

French Chemical Nomenclature,

HE study of the French chemical nomren-clature should be of great interest to us;

for we have adopted it ltoo a vast number ofFrench chemical names, without obliging themto undergo the slightest change; and the greaterpart of the rules which govern their use andcombination, come from the same source.

Until the latter part ofthe eighteenth century,chemical nomenclature had originated with the

medical chemists, and contained a multiplicityof unwieldy, unmeaning, and even absurdterms' It answered the purpose of chemiststolerably well when the science was in its in-fancy, but the number of new substances andcompounds brought into light in this centuryhad become so great that the old names couldnot be applied to them without the utmoststraining; and the chemical terms in use wereso little systematic that it would have requiredthe memory of a Macaulay to have retained them.

The crying necessity for a new nomenclaturewas universally acknowledged, and various at-tempts were made to construct one.

Bugman had contrived a new nomenclature,confined chiefly to the salts, and adapted to theLatin.

Dr. Blak had done the same thing, thoughmore elegantly and neatly. But it is to thegreat Lavoisier that we must look for the firstradical change in the system of naming com-pounds. In fact it was with the greatest diffi-culty that he could make himself understood inthe old nomenclature, which was so entirely con-formable with the phlogistic theory. ThusLavoisier, in company with Mervean, Berthollet,and Fourcroy, at l'Academie des Sciences, inI787, fixed the rules which govern, not onlythe French, but our own and many other no-menclatures to this day.

Thus it may be said that our own, so-calledEnglish, chemical language was born in France.

The extraordinary rapidity with which La-voisier's nomenclature came into use was due,principally, to the defective state of the oldnomenclature; for, although in consequence ofthe prodigious progress which the science hasmade since the time of Lavoisier, his nomencla-ture is entirely inadequate to express our ideas;yet, at the time of its nativity, its superiorityover the. old nomenclature was so great that itwas soon accepted throughout all Europe.

The antiphlogistic theory, and the new lan-guage in which it was clothed, were not,however, accepted without a struggles

In France there were few who still adheredto the old theory; Mucquer was dead, Baume

was very old, and his chemical skill had neverbeen accurate. Mounet was about closing hislaborious career-in fact, all France was soonantiphlogistian.

In Germany Lavoisier was opposed by Greuand Wiegleb; but Martin Henry Klaprothbecame a convert in 1792, together with theAcademie des Sciences at Berlin (of which hewas a member) and all Germany.

Among those who fought the most valiantly inGreat Britain against the new theory and no-menclature might be mentioned Mr. Cavendish,Mr. Priestly, Mr. Kirwan and Mr. Black. AfterMr. Priestly had fled the country, Mr. Caven-dish had retired from public life, Mr. Black haddied, and Mr. Kirwan had been converted tothe anti-phlogistic theory, the nomenclature ofLavoisier was accepted in England.

The naming of simple substances has alwaysbeen left entirely to the caprice of the discov-erer. In many cases the name was given to asubstance with a view of indicating its consti-tuents, or some property which was peculiar toit. Unhappily, almost every-body thus namedbears the stigma of the theoretic ideas of theage in which it originated. We need not lookfar for examples. Oxygen comes from theGreek word .,,, (I produce,) that is, whichproduces acids. It was believed at the epochwhen its name was chosen that it' was the onlybody capable Qf producing acids; but now weknow of many others possessing the same prop-erty. Azote (nitrogen) comes from anotherGreek word, w0 (life), or that which deprivesof life. But to-day other and numerous are thebodies known to exercise an even more deadlyinfluence upon the economy.

From these and many other examples we mayconclude that the least significant names are themost appropriate for chemical substances.

It was more particularly for the naming ofcompound substances that Lavoisier inventedhis nomenclature. All the rules and regula-tions which were then drawn up for this pur-pose are far too numerous to be discussed in apaper like this, but by taking our law andfollowing it through all its various modifications

THE TECH.

and changes from Lavoisier's day to the present,we may be able to see the analogy existingbetween the French and English compoundchemical names, and at the same time gain avery fair idea of the present state of the twochemical languages.

At the time of which we have just beenspeaking it was believed that the same sub-stance could not form more than two compoundswith oxygen, and in naming them it was agreedthat the word acide should be followed by thename of the substance, with its terminationchanged to eux for those containing the leastoxygen, and into ique for the others. Thus thetwo compounds of sulphur and oxygen thenknown were called acide sulfureux, and acidesulfurique, corresponding to the ic and ouscompounds in English.

Later on, two more compounds of sulphurand oxygen, one containing less oxygen thanacide sulfureux, and the other a little more, butnot as much as l'acide sulfurique, were discov-ered. The first was called acide zhypo-sulfureux,and the second acide hypo-sulfurique. SimilarEnglish names were given to these compounds,that is, the prefix ,,,/, was adopted.

The difficulty was for the moment evaded, butin these later years three more compounds ofsulphur and oxygen have been discovered, all ofwhich contain more oxygen than acide hypo stul-fureux and less than acide sulfureux. In orderto name these new compounds it would be ne-cessary to establish a new system of nomencla-ture. It is upon this point that the Frenchchemists, and also those of other nations, are nowdisputing.

This is only one example, but others wouldonly confirm the conclusions which we are ableto draw from this; thus each would show ussome defect in the nomenclature of Lavoisier,and indicate the pressing necessity for a newone. Many of them would present more strik-ing analogies to the English than the one wehave.just discussed.

It is a remarkable and interesting fact thatthe French and English, which are in everyother regard so widely separated, should coincide

to such a wonderful extent, not only upon therules of chemical nomenclature, but upon mostof the chemical names themselves. The latterresemblance -is so perfect that a person ac-quainted but slightly with the French wouldhave almost no difficulty in distinguishing thedifferent names of chemical compounds, and ofnearly all the simple substatces.

The word chemistry itself is nearly identical;the third letter being changed to i, and a Frenchtermination added, chimntie. Anf takes the placeof ph in sulphur; arsenic, zinc, bismuth, cobalt,carbon, and many others do not differ at all.

There are a great number of chemical nameswhich differ so slightly in the two languages thatthe analogy between them and the correspondingEnglish word is at once seen.

There are some words which, having beennamed before they were known to be chemicalcompounds, or coming from different sourcesare radically different. Among this class mightbe mentioned:-

Iron -fer.Copper- cutiru.Silver - argent.Tin - etain.

Lime - chaux.Nitrogen- azote.Lead --p1ozb.Water - eau.

And a few more which are not difficult tocommit to memory, and easy to retain, and differonly because they belong to two very differentlanguages.

Noticeable Articles.

A FEW months ago there appeared a little anony-mous volume of essays entitled " Obiter Dicta,"whose excellence was at once recognized by alllovers of good writing. The new writer's nameturns out to be Augustin Birrell, but further of himI know not. VWhoever he may be, his contribu-tions to the magazines are always worth reading,and in the August number of Mlfacmillan's are afew discriminating pages by him on the perenniallyinteresting subject of Charles Lamb, and the newedition of his delightful writings, by Mr. Aingier.Lamb has heretofore been unfortunate in his editors,but in Mr. Aingier, he has found a careful, andsympathetic and painstaking one, and the two vol-

umes he has already published and the two ofLamb's delightful letters about to appear, are prob-ably the best shape in which the quaint little man'swritings can be had,- and who that loves goodEnglish books can do without them? Mr. Ain-gier's life of him, it may be added, in " English Menof Letters," is his best biography.

In the same number is a capital paper entitled," The Terrific Diction." The phrase is taken fromDr. Johnson, the 1" Great Unread," as the writercalls him, who yet ;" as a personality, is probablythe most familiar to us of all dead men," and aboutwhom he says some excellent things; and the ter-rific diction in question is that of the Swinburnepoet and critic, especially as it appears in his lastvolume of miscellanies. Terrific, indeed, his dic-tion is, in the voluminous amplitude of its intermin-able sentences-the present writer recently notedone twenty-three lines long- and still more terrificwhen he pours out his wrath or his contempt uponhis enemies, in a whole copious vocabulary of foulwords, and fouler images. The same man, whodisgusts all right-minded readers by impudent abuseof everything they hold sacred, and gross defianceof everything that is pure, writes Atalanta in Caly-don, and criticism that, when it is good, is of thevery best. " One might say of him that when hetreats himself fairly, he never praises wrong." SinceByron, there has not been such another mixture ofmind and force. His critic, after quoting a passagethat would be disgusting if it were not, happily, tomost readers unintelligible, quotes the followingfrom him about Lamb: "All men worthy to knowhim would seem always to have loved him in pro-portion to their worthiness; and this inevitableaffection would seem again to have given them fora time, the very qualities most wanting to theirusual habit of mind. It fixed the inconstancy ofColeridge; it softened the austerity of Wordsworth.It withdrew for a moment the author of the ' Friend'from the contemplation of metaphysics, and theauthor of the ' Prelude' from the contemplation ofhimself." ' Was ever Lamb praised more finely?"he adds. The author of the ' Prelude' is too greatto be harmed by the allusion to his only weakness.

The November number of the same magazinehas an article entitled, " An Alexandrian Age,"which contains some good remarks on the samesubject of prose style. The writer takes a very des-pondent view of the literature of these times, which

89

he likens to that of Greece in its decline, whenAlexandria, not Athens, was the intellectual center;but whatever may be thought of this, his notionsabout style are sound and good. And it is oddwhat very vague ideas people otherwise sensiblehave on this subject. One writer says very sensibly:" To endeavor to teach the art of writing, as DavidRamsay taught his lads to take a watch to piecesand put it together again, strikes us as about ashopeless a task as Isaak Walton owned it was ' tomake a man that was none, to be an angler by abook.' " Yet there are plenty of good people whothink that the acquirement of a good prose style issimply a matter of learning the rules of a Rhetoric,and teachers are blamed for not turning their pupilsout good writers, as they turn them out masters oftheir multiplication-tables. They might as well beblamed for not turning them out good sculptors orgood musicians. Everybody knows that to becomea good musician one must combine a native apti-tude, with months and years of practice, and thecase is much the same with skill on the difficult in-strument, language. There go three things to themaking of a good writer,- mental discipline, whichis the net result of good training, real familiaritywith good models, and steady and long-continuedpractice. If a writer's style is confused, it is be-cause he has never learned to think; if he has nocommand of language, it is because he has not beena reader; if his thoughts do not readily take form inwriting, it is because he lacks practice. One thingis certain, that the stupidest of all ways of learningto write is to set about imitating other writers; letevery man, after due preparation, write like himself.In all great writers there are characteristics that arepeculiar and uncommunicable. It does us good toread them, but no good to mimic them.

THE; TE.C:H.

Eastern Inter-Collegiate Foot-ball Associa-tion.

THE- E date set for the formation of the new,league, was Tuesday, Dec. I4th; and accord-infgly there assembled at -the Warwick House,Sprihgfield; that evening, representatives fromthe Massachusetts Institute of Technology,

"Amherst, Trinity, Brown and Dartmouthcolleges, Stevens Institute of Technology, and'Williams and Tufts colleges. The delegatesfrom Brown, Dartmouth, and Stevens Institutewere invited to join with Technology, Amherst,and Trinity in forming the league. Before or-ganizing, a motion was made that Williams andTufts should be invited to join in the organiza-tion, which was lost. The six clubs then pro-ceeded to form the league.

A constitution was presented by Mr. Morgan,'of Trinity, which was adopted, with some modi-

'fications and amendments. This constitution isSO drawn up that the -disputes and protestscharacteristic of the old league will be doneaway with. Its main features are as follows:That the name of the organization should be the'Eastern Inter-Collegiate Foot-Ball Association,and that its objects should be the encourage-ment of the game of foot-ball in the collegeshaving membership in the Association; that W.C. Camp's rules should be adopted, with modi-fications to be made at the next meeting; thatthe referee in each gamrne must be mutuallyagreed upon by the two contesting colleges, andthere can be no protest from his decision; thata motion can only be carried by a majority vote;that there should be an annual assessment of tendollars from each club; that the championshipshould be decided by the percentage of gameswon to games won and lost; and there should betwo regular meetings held each year on the firstWednesday in October and December, respect-ively.

The schedule will be arranged at the next'meeting in October, and probably each club will-play one game with each other; so that one yeara club will play three games at home and two

three away. These officers were elected:-President, G. C. Dempsey, ofTechnology; Vice-President, C. S. Houghton, of Amherst; Secre-tary, M. F. Morgan, Jr., of Trinity; Treasurer,B. F. Hart, of Stevens Institute.

The feeling among the delegates was thatWilliams, on account of her causing so muchdissension in the league this year, should: beleft out for a year at least, and that Tufts wasnot wanted in the Association at all. Wesleyandecided to remain in the American Inter-Col-legiate Association. The prospects are that aseries of exciting contests will be witnessed nextseason, with perfect harmony existing amongthe clubs.

The Technology delegates were Messrs.Dempsey, '88, Dearborn, '88, and Herrick, '88;and to them is due the. credit for the prominentpart that Technology took in the proceedings.

THE meeting of the Athletic Club was verysuccessful in drawing spectators, and a greatinterest was taken in the different events. Theevents were in the following order': -

Putting the shot. -J. C. E. de Bullet andD. D. Kerns, both of 'go. De Bullet won, witha put of 30 feet 2 inches.

Fence vault. -G. A. Armington, '87, -H.G. Gross,'88, and R. Devens, '88. All cleared6 feet 61 inches. Gross won, having a handicapof i inch from Armington, and 3 inches fromDevens.

Fencing. -J. B. Loewenthal, '87, and W. S.Aldrich, '88. This was a very poor exihibition-of the art, and was awarded to Loewenthal byone point.

Standing high jump.- M. E. Cobb, '87,Devens, '88, Armington, '87, Gross, '88, andWason, 'go. Wason won, with a record of 4 feet71 inches, with Devens second, 4 feet 64 inches.

Running high kick.- Armington, '87, andF. B. Choate, 'go. Armington won, with arecord of 8 feet ix inches, which was very well,

away, and the next year two games at home and. -considering his height.

Running high jump.- Devens, '88, and Wa-son, 'go. Devens' ankle gave way on the first:trial, so Wason won, clearing the bar at itsstarting point, 4 feet 6 inches, as a matter ofform.

Standing hibzh kick.- Armington, '87, andChoate, 'g o . - G. M. Basford, '89, and J. P.Heywood, 'go, entered, supposing this to be astretch kick, and gave a pretty exhibition of theBlack Crook style. Armington won at 7 feet7 inches.

Tug-of-war.- '89 team: F. L. Pierce, an-chor, G. D. Marcy, H. W. Clement, B. W.Guppy. 'go team: J. C. E. de Bullet, anchor,D. D. Kerns, S. F. Tuckerman, P. H. Tracy.'89 won the drop by I} inches, and then by asuccession of heaves won the tug by 8i inches.Their classmates were very jubilant, thoughthe result was by no means unexpected. Abanner of the classcolors was unfurled by someingenious mechanism, and hung from one of thebeams.

Feather-weight sparring.---F. E. Ellis wasthe only entry who showed up, and he obtainedpermission from the other contestants to enterfor the light weight.

Light-weight sSarring.- G. Whitney, '87,G. O. Draper, '87, J. Ray, '88, R. C. Williams,'89, and F. E. Ellis, '88. The first bout wasbetween Draper and Williams. This was thehardest of the series, and very close, five roundsbeing necessary to decide it. Williams wasdeclared winner. Whitney and Ray then con-tested. Ray was quick, and rushed considera-bly. Whitney lead well, and stood his ground,but did not follow up an advantage as he should,which probably lost him the bout.

Williams and Ellis then appeared. Williamsdid well the first round, but was exhausted byhis previous encounter, and could not reachEllis, or guard his left-handers. Ellis won.

After a short intermission Ellis and Rayfought the last bout. Ray was fully fifteenpounds heavier than Ellis, but could not dealwith his opponent's superior quickness andwind. Ellis thus won the event, which was in aheavier weight than he entered for. His cool-

.:1

ness and -excellent judgment elicited muchapplause.

'87 won three events, '88 three, '89 one, and'9o three. '89 now holds the championship forthe tug-of-war. The two upper classes showedgreat :lack of enterprise in failing to enterteams.

There were no records broken or approached;but as most of the men competed for the firsttime, this is not surprising. The sparring wasmore of an event than is usual at our firstgames, and no doubt was effective in awaken-ing outside interest. The tug-of-war was prob-ably responsible for the large attendance fromthe two lower classes.

The officers of the meeting were: Referee,C. P. Daniels; Clerk of course, T. D. Brainerd,'87; Referee of sparring, W. A. Morrison;Judges of sparring, C. D. Fillebrown and J. M.Smith; Stewards, W. T. Sears, R. Robb, W. C.Fish, G. C. Dempsey, W. L. Dearborn and N.Durfee.

The President's Reception.

IT was a pleasant change to the tired Techs tofind the halls and reading-rooms, which they

associated with study only, so metamorphosedby the Christmas decorations on the occasionof President and Mrs. Walker's reception. Thephysical laboratory, library, and lecture-roomswere cleared of their usual contents, and an or-chestra furnished music for those who wishedto dance. The architects' library was also deco-rated with the first and second mentions of Theirrecent problems. The Tech Glee Club was onhand, and, as usual, proved what an acquisitionit was to the Institute. Among those presentwere Professor and Mrs. Otis, and Dr. and Mrs.Dewey. This was one of the pleasantest socialgatherings ever had at the Institute, and willlong be remembered by all those present. Thethanks of all are due to President and Mrs.Walker for their kindness. It is only to be re-gretted that there were not more present.
